Speaker 1 (00:09):
We are back at it again. It feels fine. Glad
you're here. Welcome to the Girly Show. I think after
trying and doing a pretty terrible job, honestly, of getting
this on five days a week, I think a more
realistic thing three days a week. Is that cool with you?
I know, if we did Monday right, we do a

(00:30):
big weekend recamp, then I think Wednesday, Thursday, Tuesdays are
just for me at this point. Maybe I don't know.
If I just set the limit at three, keep the
bar low. It's a great goal to have in life.
I'm glad you're here today. If you're a Kansas City
Chiefs fan and a fan of also saving lives, I

(00:51):
got some news for you. Plus the doc workers strike,
I didn't know what was happening until it went happened.
So what it means possibly for you and I. We'll
get to that as well, because you know, it's all
about us, not about them trying to get like a
Liverpool wage or whatever it is they're going after. What
does it mean for you and me? That's the most
important thing, right. Plus we're going to go over the

(01:15):
eating dinner backwards diet, which, by the way, I enunciated
beautifully there. And the stupid holiday of the day. I
feel like this should maybe become a bit It's like
National Pancake Day or National rub your child's skull Day.
I don't know, something dumb. We got a good one today.

(01:36):
It's actually something I've heard a lot of people do.
I've never done. So we'll cover that and then anything
else that I missed in the prep. I haven't gone
through all of it yet, but we will start with
saving lives and the Kansas City Chiefs. Good lord, I
did not enunciate that. One the Kansas City to teach
Chiefs is that. Look as many heart attacks as thiefs

(02:00):
have given their fans this season. I feel like saving
lives should be priority one if you're a Chiefs fan.
And so does the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks.
This Friday, so that'd be October the fourth. Yeah, everybody
who donates blood is going to get number one, a
limited edition Kansas City Chiefs T shirt. That's pretty cool.

(02:21):
Number two ten dollars voucher to Traveler's House Coffee and Tea.
And number three this is the big draw, right, They're
going to do a drawing and your name gets included
with your blood donation on this Friday for this two
tickets parking pass for the Chiefs versus Houston Texans game
coming up a couple days before Christmas. It's like eight
hundred bucks. The tickets must be decent, right Anyways, Friday,

(02:45):
CBCO make it happen. I'll axually be right next to
CBCO on Friday. I've got a remote out at aren't
our Time Express on South Campbell? That should be fun.
So let's get one of the dockworkers strike. It is
dock workers on the US East coast. They have dropped

(03:06):
their ropes and rain jackets. What a dockworkers wear? They
drive forkliffs. I saw the wire. Anyways, they say the
ripple effects may start hitting your wallet at the grocery
store sooner rather than later. Does that mean you should
start stocking up on stuff now? Mashed dot com, which

(03:28):
is I assume a side about potatoes. It's not, it's
a it's something else. Anyways, mashed dot com says that
it's going to be bananas that you'll see first. They're
either going to be really really scarce or just really
really expensive, probably both. If you just can't fathom going
without your bananas. You can stock up on the less

(03:50):
perishable alternatives right now, like sweetened banana chips, freeze dried bananas.
Alcohol is the next major import that could be affected,
especially if you're into drinking them foreign drinks like rum
that is your boy so much, your boy also Scotch

(04:12):
European wines, and because those are not like bananas and
will not go bad, just go ahead and pile a
whole bunch up in your closet just to be safe.
That's what they're recommended. Look, man, your potassium levels are
really going to suffer, but your alcoholism, don't you worry
about that. We have got you covered. Buddy. For more

(04:32):
details about what's going to become scarce and the fear
we need to put into you this week mashed dot com,
the Not Potatoes website. Okay, so every now and then
you'll get a person like me talking about the newest
fad diet. I've noticed over the last few years, I've

(04:54):
done it less and less because it seems that there's
just one really good die about there and that everybody
should just do that one. And so every time that
diet gets brought up, I just talk about that one
instead of the different fads. It's just hey, this is
like the fiftieth year in a row they've said the
Mediterranean diet is the way to go eat like a
Mediterranean person, I guess, and you'll be fine. Olives and

(05:16):
feta cheese. That's all I really know about it. This
one has nothing to do with the food you're actually
eating and everything to do with the order you eat
your food in. Have you heard of the eating dinner
backwards diet? Did you hear the guests start building up
on that. I'm just trying to finish this coffee here,
and it's fighting me back pretty hard. Anyway, this is

(05:41):
not a new concept, so if you've heard of it before, like,
you don't get a prize or anything. All Right, it's
been around for a while. But they say food sink,
would sink? Let's try it again. This is me reading
two lines ahead of where I was. Otherwise known as
food sequencing, and some people say that's starting a meal

(06:04):
with like a bowl of salad or just your veggies first.
You won't be as hungry for those rich carbs later
in the meal. Now there's also I would assume these
are the extreme food sequencing people who claim and this
is backed by some study out of the UK, so
it's not without it's you know, at least made up data.

(06:26):
If you start your meal with your sugary dessert, it
could result in your brain going hey, like, we've already
put in a lot of calories here, man, maybe we
should chill out on the rest of this stuff and
squash your desire to overeat later on. And I don't
know how you are with food. It's never I don't know, man,

(06:46):
it's a combination. For me, I eat really really fast.
I have a wife who's the therapist, and I've asked
her I don't know, a dozen or so times over
the dozen or so years married, like you if I
was a patient of yours, and she just geeks out,
by the way whenever I ask this very rarely do I,

(07:06):
So whenever it's just like she drops everything. She could
be in the middle of seeing another patient and I
could be like, hey, real quick, if I was your patient,
she'd be like, sir, I'm gonna need you you just
wipe your face with these tissues. My husband has a
thing that's not true. He's very professional. Anyway, if I
was your patient, how would you treat me? If I
came in saying, I think I don't know if it's

(07:30):
an eating disorder, but I certainly have issues with eating. Specifically,
I eat really really fast, and because of that, I
eat a large quantity of food, much larger probably than
any human should. I don't think it's based in emotion.
Sometimes it is, but I think we all have a
tendency at some points to emotionally eat. For me, what's

(07:52):
crazy less stress, more like happiness. If I'm super duper happy, dude,
I'm just chowing down. Man, it's the best stressed out.
I tend to not eat very much at all, and
then when I do, it's like one meal and it's
late in the day, and it's probably terrible. Look, there's
a lot of issues I'm realizing now as I say
them all out loud and connected. Anyway, the main one

(08:13):
is I eat really fast, and she tells me, all right,
so you're gonna wanna put the fork down in between bites,
really concentrate on what's happening in your mouth, the flavors,
the textures, you know, all that crap. And she's not wrong,
Like I could absolutely see where that would be really helpful.

(08:34):
It's just that sounds so dumb sounds awful. I don't
want to do it, part of me thinks. And I
tried this a couple of nights ago because I was
thinking we were having this meal I made a man.
My daughter and me have been doing some cooking together lately,
and I have a recipe in my head that I
make a really nice mare and air a sauce and

(08:55):
we start from scratch, you know, we all that stuff.
My daughter helped me with it this past week and
it was great. It turned out really really good. I
think she was really happy with being involved in the
process and then eating it afterwards. And so we did
that with like a ravioli, like a sausa ravioli, like
a fresh one, and I knew. I was like, dude,

(09:15):
this is a meal that I will smash and then
go back for a second helping of similar size and
also smashed and feel awful for the rest of the night.
So I only put I don't know. I don't know
where I got this from, but I think it's the
Guy's Supplement superstore. We used to talk about like food portion.
They're like, just the size of your hand is probably enough.

(09:37):
And that was about protein, you know, like the size
of your palm, and like, I don't know if you've
ever met me or been around me, Like I'm tall
but six or five and my palms. I think my
palms are actually bigger than my fingers. I've got essentially
just gorilla hands. And so like a palms were the food,
I'm like, all right, that's plenty. So I tried to
do that with a ravioli and then I purposefully like
sat there. I was like, do not go back, do

(09:59):
not go back. I didn't accept that my kids did
not finish. I gave them a lot, and they didn't
finish it all. So I kind of hate their stuff. Anyways,
this diet may be helpful to me as somebody who
eats really really quickly but also realizes like I don't
need a ton of dessert, So when it comes time

(10:20):
to dessert, I'm like, oh, that's just a bunch of
extra calories. I wonder if that same hang up if
I just ate a little bit of dessert beforehand, if
I wouldn't have the same thing. Oh crap, I already
ate the dessert. I'm not gonna I can't. I can't
do this, you know what I mean? I don't know
maybe it'll help. That's a very very long explanation to
do a twenty second break about it that I think
that might work for me. I never get to eat
dessert number one and number two. I'm very aware of

(10:42):
the calories in dessert more than any other type of food.
See say you do that in ten seconds. We'll do
that in the non podcast version of this show, the
one that's not nearly as fun. And finally, stupid holiday
of the day, how about that? Do we make that?
The today's stupid holiday is National Name your Car Day.

(11:08):
Most Americans spend more than an hour a day in
their cars. That's just the line they led with. I'm
reading it to you. At this point, fifty six percent
of Americans have named their vehicle. Typically it's based on
your your car's color shadow scar. Some people name it

(11:32):
after a TV show like Kit from night Rider or
Mad Backs, you know, movies from before we were born
and stuff. Anyways, the most popular name for a car
and he guesses as to what that name is. I
won't do the I'll say over half of Americans do.
And the most popular name for a car is and
he guesses, Betty, that's it. I kind of get annoyed

(11:57):
by people who do. And I'm not judging, Okay, this
is just a thing that I get annoyed by. I
get annoyed by people who are like time to name
or or even referring to their car by a gender.
You know, just never done it. It's never been my thing.
I won't pass that judgment on anybody who does, at
least not to their face. But it's just never been
my thing. You know. I've called my cars plenty of

(12:21):
names before, names that I cannot tell you or my kids,
but never named them anything. Although maybe it's like a dog,
whether they just hear the same word. Like I'm pretty
sure both my dogs think their name is no or
you idiot, So I wonder if cars it the same
way either way. If you did name your cars, sorry
about offending you. And if it's named Betty, you're not original,

(12:44):
Sorry to burst your bubby. I think that's it. We'll
find some other stuff I'm sure to like sprinkle in
throughout the day, but those are gonna be the chunky ones.
We still got this cash contest going on and everything,
So yeah, I think we're good. Have a great Wednesday.
I'm excited you were here for this if we talk
to you later this afternoon when all this comes out awesome.
If not, fine, like I don't do do whatever you want. Man,

(13:07):
I'm not your mom. We will ideally talk to you
again one more time this week, as the three a
week podcast goal has been set. I think there's only
been a couple of weeks I've actually done all five,
so this is not new information, probably to you. Just
I won't feel guilt. There's that oh man, that coffee
coming back. I just won't feel guilty about not doing

(13:28):
them again, and I'll stop burpen in your ear. Sound good?
All right, We'll talk to you maybe tomorrow.
